Visited on New Year’s Day around 3 PM and the service completely ruined the experience. Our server clearly did not want to be there and provided some of the worst service we’ve had at a Korean BBQ restaurant. There is an automatic gratuity added, which is extremely frustrating given the level of service we received. This server did not earn a tip. I asked for sesame oil and was given something that tasted like plain cooking oil. My wife ordered a Coke and it never arrived. To make things worse, waiters kept switching between tables, so no one seemed accountable for our service. The food itself was mixed. The meats were just okay at best, and the beef intestine I ordered was honestly terrible and borderline inedible. Overall, this place might be tolerable if service improves, but being forced to pay gratuity for poor service leaves a bad impression. We left disappointed and would not rush back.
I love Buga! I have been a few times and each visit has been worth it. We always opt for the all you can eat option B and it has some amazing choices. There are so many choices for meat, you get to cook it at your table. So much fun! The sides are really good, some of our favorites are the corn cheese, dumplings, Tteokbokki, and fish cakes. I always leave stuffed and very satisfied. The staff at Buga is always welcoming, there is plenty of parking, and if you don't want to do the all you can eat options there are plenty of other options.
정말 고마워!! This place was amazing, fist time in San Diego and craving Korean food + all you can eat with amazing and friendly staff! Food was amazing. The atmosphere everything was wonderful! Can’t wait to go back ❤️❤️
How much fun! Great selection of meats and sides, some you wouldn’t expect like tortillas, cheesy corn, cheese fondue and French fries. Try the brisket and spicy chicken, you won’t be disappointed. Pricing is reasonable for all you can eat, so come hungry and get your money’s worth.
Went for AYCE happy lunch set for $27pp and was not disappointed. The meat were of good quality and nicely marinated. Ordered assortment of beef and pork and everything came out quickly. I liked the bulgogi the best. The side dishes like spicy rice cake, steamed eggs, fish cake, mixed green salad were all good too! Staff were friendly and worked as efficiently as possible. Decor was simple but who cares? Hilight was the food.
